Processing of the building permit
Statements from network operators are just the beginning. To obtain building permission you also need opinions from relevant authorities, consents and a complete set of supporting documents. We handle the entire process: from the initial application to the planning permission.
What a building permit entails
The new Building Act (effective from 1. 7. 2024) has merged the former land-use and building procedures into a single development consent. However, the paperwork has not disappeared. You still need to submit the following with your application:
- Statements from owners and managers of technical infrastructure - typically 20-25 entities, service details here.
- Opinions of the relevant authorities - the hygiene station, fire brigade, environmental authorities, heritage officials or road administration authority, depending on the nature of the project and location.
- Consents and Certificates - ownership relations, municipal consent, connection to public infrastructure, setback distances.
- Design documentation - your designer prepares this; we coordinate the documentation part with them.
How cooperation works
- Initial consultation free of charge. We will review your proposal, location and project phase. We will tell you exactly what your proposal will require and how much the service will cost.
- Gathering of supporting documents. We send the utility network statement to the network operator and relevant authorities, monitor deadlines, follow up on progress and address any comments.
- Completion and submission. We prepare the documentary section, check it against the authority's requirements and submit the application: today typically via the Portál stavebníka.
- Management support. We liaise with the authority, supplement the documentation and monitor deadlines until the permit is issued.
How much does it cost
The price depends on the scope of the project and the number of required statements, for a typical detached house, complete engineering usually ranges from high single-digit to low double-digit thousands of Kč. You will receive an exact quote after an initial consultation, always as a fixed amount in advance.

Do I need you if I have a designer?
The designer drafts the building project; liaising with estate managers, relevant authorities and the office constitutes engineering work that many designers do not perform or charge for separately. We complement each other: the designer provides the documentation, we handle the certificates and submissions.
How long does it take to obtain permission?
Gathering utility network statements and opinions typically takes 1-2 months, followed by further weeks or months for the official proceedings at the authority, depending on workload and the completeness of submitted documents. It is precisely this completeness that we can influence: a fully complete application submitted correctly from the outset saves months of requests for supplementary information.
Do you also operate outside Prague?
Yes, we handle utility network statements and opinions electronically across the whole of the Czech Republic. We arrange personal meetings at authorities primarily in Prague and the Central Bohemian Region.
